"Connection refused by host" or "Invalid terminal type" when opening a telnet connection.

Upgrade to MacWise 10.7.58 or later.

This release of MacWise adds a telnet option, "Use the tc shell to log in".
When this option is enabled, MacWise first logs into the Mac unix tc shell before issuing telnet commands and opening the connection. This option provides more compatibility with host computers that request the terminal type.

Note: This problem can also be caused by situations beyond MacWise control. Other possibilities are that your host will only allow certain IP addresses to log in or requires a client ID. Look at your Network Connection preferences under the TCP/IP tab for those options.

If you get the following error message when trying to login to a secure SSH host (or similar message), you may need to fix or trash your known_hosts file on the Mac.

WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed.

Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /Users/"YourUserName"/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid this message.
Offending key in /Users/"YourUserName"/.ssh/known_hosts:1
RSA host key has changed and you have requested strict check.
Host key verification failed.

NOTE: Substitute your real user account name for "YourUserName"

(Or if you connect to multiple hosts and only have a problem with one host, you could just edit the known_hosts file with Text Edit and remove the line with the IP address of the host that is causing you login problems.)
